Oh Mr. West, you so crazy.

Famous rap star/producer, known for his hatred of Twitter, freestyles on topics from getting laid to heavy chains, among a crowd of Facebook employees in the cafeteria of the FB HQ. Forward to 3:22 mark to hear his “diss” on Twitter.

I’m still scratching my head wondering why he’s at Facebook, or even why this made it to the TechCrunch blog.  Props anyway!

Those with a Facebook or Twitter account and without an iPad app managing those networks are with good reason; they’re often annoying.

From the endless Twitter streams to Facebook’s constantly updated News Feed, it’s easier to tune out than tune in; especially given the ephemeral nature of social networks.

Flipboard proposes a better way to follow your friends: turn social networking updates into a personalized magazine by aggregating status updates, tweets, photos and articles and displaying them in nine sections (like a magazine, woah!), which can focus on any topic – whether that’s sneakers, fishing or Mel Gibson – or even Twitter lists.

With the help of semantic data-analysis, it essentially “collects all the ‘good stuff’ your friends are sharing”.

Oh yeah, it’s also free.

This short video really reminds me of the “Get a Mac” commercial spots – I wonder if that was intentional?

As an ad agency, CreativeFeed can appreciate the detail, skill and time involved in creating a great photo shoot.  Costly yes, but that’s a price we’re willing to pay for a talented photographer and an outstanding product.  You can see past work for our clients here.

We came across this video on MacRumors and felt compelled to share. Lee Morris of Fstoppers shoots an entire fashion session with an iPhone 3Gs.  It’s a great reminder that though one can obsess over professional camera equipment and technical specs like sharpness, range, noise, chromatic aberration etc, what matters most is the quality of the compelling image and the talent behind the camera.

“We got reskinned. Now it’s your turn.”

With its new Tea and Elixir line packaging, SoBe teamed up with Firstborn to create an online application that allows you to test out tattoos on an uploaded photo of yourself. The application can be found on SoBe’s website.

You can re-size, reshape, and play with other details of the tattoo on the picture you uploaded; a fun digital game. This was a cool interpretation of the idea of recreating a product’s packaging, or “reskinning,” as SoBe refers to it. The application allows you to download, email, or share the final image with your friends. By sharing these images on the web, the participants help market the product, by spreading the world on social networks such as Twitter and Facebook.

Here’s what people are saying about the new ReSkin application:

And, Andrew finally got the butterfly tattoo he always wanted…

Recently, a PR campaign has been in progress by a certain TV network pushing for Conan to get an Emmy for his work earlier this year back before he was booted off television.

And, no, it’s not NBC.

Conan on TBS - Coming in November

TBS, who signed a contract back on April 12 to pick up Conan for a late-night talk show, is fervently pushing for Emmy voters to remember the work that Conan did earlier this year when he was still on NBC. After his extremely public departure from NBC, Conan hit the road to fill the summer months, embarking on “The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour,” – named after, well, fairly obvious reasons.

An Emmy nod would surely put his face all over the broadcast, which just so happens to be on NBC, and in a timely manner (the Emmys are on August 29^th, Conan’s TBS show is slated to being sometime in November).

Though TBS has had Lopez Tonight with George Lopez for about a year now, the addition of Conan O’Brien will put them in a serious position in the debate for late-night network kings.

You can check out what is surely to be the first of many ads in Variety Magazine.

Logos have come to play an important role in today’s society: they communicate a brand identity to the consumer, simply through a specific design. A good logo is clear and memorable, and should be able to clearly convey whatever message the company wants to send.  These designers have integrated a drawing that reflects the company’s product or service.

Most company logos have become famous simply through their brand popularity, such as Coca-Cola and Adidas, but these  logos seem to stand out for a different reason: their clever designs. Each one is simple, using no more than two solid colors, yet inventive in its hidden imagery. In the world of marketing a brand name, these types of imaginative logos could go a long way in promoting a brand. If the viewer stops and thinks that a design is interesting to them, they often take the moment to remember the brand name. Interesting, inventive logos are a great way of drawing the consumer in, and getting a company’s name out there. On a less serious note, it’s fun to find the hidden images!
